Abstract

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been used for patients with depressive disorder because of their favorable side effect profiles. However, SSRIs have variable drug interactions because of the inhibitory action on the Cytochrome-P 450 system (CYP450), especially in combination with antipsychotic and antiarrhythmic drugs. We hereupon present the first case report of bradycardia associated with the use of paroxetine and carvedilol combination in a patient with depressive disorder.
